Reduction of cache flush time using a dirty line limiter |
摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for reducing cache flush time of a cache in a computer system. The method includes populating at least one of a plurality of directory entries of a dirty line directory based on modification of the cache to form at least one populated directory entry, and de-populating a pre-determined number of the plurality of directory entries according to a dirty line limiter protocol causing a write-back from the cache to a main memory, where the dirty line limiter protocol is based on a number of the at least one populated directory entry exceeding a pre-defined limit. |
